A written admissions test is required for SKEMA's Grande École/MiM (Programme Grande École). Accepted tests are the TAGE-MAGE, GMAT, GRE and CAT — applicants must submit a score from one of these. SKEMA does not publish a class average for the PGE, and does not exempt applicants from the test requirement. Note that this test requirement applies specifically to the PGE; SKEMA's separate MSc programmes have a different (optional) test policy.
SKEMA Business School does not publish a GMAT range.
| MiMs we track admitting without a required GMAT/GRE | 75 of 118 |
|---|
Across the MiMs we track, 75 of 118 (about 64%) admit without a required GMAT or GRE — confirm SKEMA Business School's current test policy on its official admissions page. See every European MiM you can apply to without a GMAT on our MiM without the GMAT shortlist, or read how GMAT waivers work.
Most European MiM programs, including this one, accept the GRE and often the GMAT Focus Edition or a school-specific test as alternatives, and weigh the whole application — academics, internships, essays, and interview — rather than the score alone.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need a GMAT for the SKEMA Grande École?
From the forums
Self-reported posts from applicants and students on public forums — useful colour, but anecdotal and unverified. Not official school data.
A poster with GMAT 670 (Q48/V33) was weighing a SKEMA MiM offer — suggesting scores in this range are competitive for the Grande École programme.
A GMAT Club moderator confirmed that a written test (GMAT or GRE) is required for the SKEMA PGE, in contrast to SKEMA's MSc programmes where it is optional.
A GMAT 530 applicant was admitted to the SKEMA PGE in 2019, indicating that admission is possible below 600 with a strong overall profile.

- SKEMA Business School — Apply. NEGATIVE RE-PROBED AND RECLASSIFIED 2026-09-09. The observation recorded on 2026-09-04 was right and its diagnosis was wrong: this is a WAF challenge, NOT client-side rendering. Every route tried on 2026-09-09 — the apex https://www.skema.edu/, the Grande École programme page and this apply URL — returns HTTP 200 with an identical 212-byte document, in full: '<html><head><META NAME="robots" CONTENT="noindex,nofollow"><script src="/_Incapsula_Resource?SWJIYLWA=..."></script><body></body></html>'. The response headers carry 'x-iinfo:' and set 'visid_incap_2771331' and 'incap_ses_679_2771331' cookies — Imperva/Incapsula signatures. A full browser header set (Accept, Accept-Language, Sec-Fetch-Dest/Mode/Site, Upgrade-Insecure-Requests) does not clear it, and WebFetch receives the same empty document. That is why the earlier read saw zero readable lines after tag-stripping: there was nothing to strip, because the page was never served. The distinction is operational, not pedantic — a rendering client would NOT fix this, which is what the 2026-09-04 note recommended. SKEMA belongs with tbs-education.com, citystgeorges.ac.uk and tilburguniversity.edu in the confirmed-WAF family, not with the SPA family. (apply.skema.edu is separately unreachable: the egress proxy rejects the CONNECT.) The route that would settle the calendar is one the filter does not challenge, or the school itself ↗ — SKEMA Business School
